PedroMar 9, 200710TNH, you don't even know good grammar! "she is a terrible songwriters"? Get your plural/singular differences right, asshole! This CD is amazing. Regina is next in the line of great women who play the piano, including Tori, Kate, and Fiona. Her lyrics are wonderfully unique and her voice is beautiful.

ThomasWJan 10, 200710Regina Spektor is a very talented girl. She has an amazing voice and can tickle those ivories like there's no tomorrow. She has done well on this album but did even better with "Begin to Hope." I;m glad she made another album. It's amazing and far better than "Soviet Kitsch." Regina simply has a unique sound that you won't hear from anybody else.

CharlesC.Mar 1, 200710Its not breathtaking, but its not pretentious. It can feel naive at times, but its so damn sincere, you just don't care. And that's the core of this album...absolute sincerity...its funny, lush and has more than a couple of tracks you'll listen to over and over again. Try 'Us,' 'The Ghost of Corporate Future,' 'Ode to Divorce.'

JonathanAMar 13, 200510I saw Regina Spektor play at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and I knew nothing of her music. I was so impressed I bought both of her albums at the show and was also impressed with her album 'Songs' which I highly recommend. Her songs have a quality that makes you want to listen to them over and over again. If you can see her live, run don't walk!

OscarCurmudgeonSep 24, 200610Quite simply, the girl has a gift. Intriguing and beguiling, funny and dolorous by turn, this artisthas a potential which seems to this listener to have no obvious limits. This album is a sprawiling and confounding joy.

Sep 22, 201010Regina Spektor is so very under credited. Her song "Us" is among my favorite songs and this album is in plain english "OUTSTANDING"....THere is nothing that needs to be changed or rerecorded...Pure joy when it is listened to

Spektor is an engaging performer throughout the album, and despite her arty quirks, she's never pretentious.
-
80Traces of Joni Mitchell, PJ Harvey, Björk and Cat Power are all proudly on display in the unpredictable arrangements and off-kilter emotions.
-
While her art folk has its considerable charms, it's also erratic and, at times, exhausting. [11 Feb 2005, p.63]
